Getting a refund through PayPal

[BettyNoir]

Last month I placed an order from a company and decided to pay through PayPal. They have now informed me that the items I ordered cannot be guaranteed for Christmas delivery, so I've decided I want to cancel my order and ask for a refund. Am I right in thinking that, as I paid with PayPal, the refund will therefore be credited back onto my PayPal account? And if so, is it then possible to move that money back into my own bank account?
I have looked on PayPal's website and their help section isn't very helpful. If anyone has done this in the past can you help?

Thanks
B

You will have to check with the company but that sounds the most likely way that they will refund you. It takes time, as I and several other people pointed out on another thread in the past few days. Once back in the paypal account, and they will email to say you have got funds, then you can withdraw it back to your bank account (if you funded the transaction from a bank account).

Yes it will be refunded to paypal. Once there go to 'My Account'. At the top of the page, under the blue tabs, is an option to click on 'withdraw'. Then follow the instructions.

... keeping in mind that PayPal's transfer to your bank account could take a week or ten days for the funds to actually show up in your balance...

If funded from Bank Account when paid through Paypal, it will be re-funded back through Paypal directly to the source bank account.
In fact, I just had one last week. It shows as a squirly refund sign on the icon list in Purchases in eBay Summary.

This is only if the original payment was sourced from bank account you use with Paypal.
If you paid with a Paypal balance, it will be cleared into Paypal balance again.
Then you can withdraw to bank account, which takes about a week.

I have never had any problems with Paypal, so fingers crossed all will go OK.

I once had a very very good outcome with paypal. Everything had gone horribly wrong when I agreed to sell something outside ebay. They didnt have to do anything as I had broken quite a few conditions but they came up trumps and refunded me all the money. I am not going to go into details, but I am now very pro paypal as you can imagine.
